Hola familia!
So
Christmas was pretty great! It was so nice to see Delaney and my
beautiful family through Skype! We ended up spending Christmas night
knocking doors by where we live. It went pretty well we talked to a few
interesting people haha. Christmas morning our downstairs neighbors from
the 1st Ward had us over for breakfast! It was so nice of them we had a
great time. I ate so much I felt like I was going to throw up because I
was was so full and the anticipation of talking to my family right
after didn't help haha! But overall it was a pretty great first
missionary Christmas.
So
on Tuesday we got to go to the TEMPLE as a zone! It was awesome I love
the Chicago Temple! Afterwards we all met at the mission home for lunch
and a meeting where President Woodbury gave us a new scripture
challenge. As a mission we are now reading the Book of Mormon and
highlighting the Christlike attributes. I'm way excited for this
challenge and for everything I'm going to learn! We also had a little
gift exchange which was pretty fun too :)
On
Christmas Eve we had district meeting then we went to hermana bautistas
house and helped her make tamales! It was quite the process. They
turned out way good I'm glad I got to help make them! On Friday
morning our district met at the church and the young women made us
breakfast. It was so nice off them!
Well
this week was mainly jumping from one holiday activity to the next and
talking to everyone along the way. Right now we're really just trying to
find more people to teach and we're working hard! I'm definitely
excited for this new year and for all the experiences ahead on my
mission. This church is true! I love my Savior and I know He lives.
Keep smiling!

Spending
P-day at the bowling alley with our zone and then I think we're going
to head to the Lincoln Park Zoo! Then of course dinner with the
Rodriguez family tonight :)
Happy new year I love you all!
